High Performance Windows


Costs are on the Rise
With rising costs, people are trying to save money anywhere they can. Whether that is making breakfast at home, carpooling, or buying in bulk; Oklahomans are on the look out for ways to save. One of the best places to save is in the proper construction of your new home. The best builders in the industry are building homes that are Energy Star qualified. Energy Star homes meet strict guidelines set out by the EPA and are shown to be significantly more efficient than traditional homes without an Energy Star rating. One of the most important features of any Energy Star home are the high performance windows.



High Performance Windows
As anyone with older wood frame windows can tell you, a lot of indoor temperature is lost to them. The old style windows don’t seal the home nearly as well as today’s more efficient, high performance windows do. These new windows employee better frame assemblies that keep the indoor temperatures in, while keeping the outside temperatures out! This results in a more comfortable and energy efficient home for you and your family. Special coatings are now put on the newer windows to reduce the amount of harmful UV rays from getting into your house. This coating also serves to limit the amount of radiant heat coming into the home, this makes for more comfortable summers in this Oklahoma heat.

Remember to look for the Energy Star logo when you are out shopping for your new home!
